Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Patties
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, crumbled feta, chopped Kalamata olives, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into even-sized patties, pressing firmly to ensure they hold together during cooking.
- Cook Patties: Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through internally.
- Serve: Plate the cooked Mediterranean chicken patties and serve with tzatziki sauce, a fresh salad, or warm pita bread for a balanced meal.
Notes
- Ensure the patties are not too thick to cook evenly inside.
- Use fresh parsley for a bright herbal flavor.
- Breadcrumbs help bind the patties and keep them juicy.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt since feta and olives add saltiness.
- Leftover patties can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or oven.
